“Laura was so amazing!! We left our 4 month old puppy with her and she was extremely accommodating. She communicated with us throughout the whole process and even sent us updates, since our 5 year old son was pretty concerned about leaving his best friend with a stranger.

“Myriah was absolutely wonderful with our dog Rice! One of the best sitters ever. She provided daily pictures, updates and videos. She always made us feel reassured while gone. I can’t recommend her enough! She also has a cute dog named Harper and worked endlessly to make Rice comfortable in that new environment :)”

“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”

“Our pooch felt very comfortable with Yvonne and Sam and their dogs. They walked her daily with their dogs and gave her lots of attention and love. They sent pictures and stories every day to keep us updated. We hope we can use them again!”
“Nicole and Jamie took Rocco on lots of walks, sent us photos daily and were good communicators throughout our trip. Rocco came home happy and we would be glad to hire them again. Thank you!”
“Our fur baby has seizures and is on a very strict medication schedule. Susie handled him GREAT! We don't even drop him off at the vet without staying so I was very nervous. Man I shouldn't have been! Susie was wonderful with communication and PICTURES!! Our baby is a very nervous guy and Susies daughter was beyond great with him. He warmed up to them quickly (well, for him anyway). I worried for nothing. We'll definitely be booking again.”

About: I’ve loved cats my entire life and grew up with them throughout my childhood. Since then, I’ve frequently cat-sat for friends, neighbors, and family, and I truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I understand that some cats want playtime while others just want quiet companionship and consistency. I’m happy to feed, refresh water, scoop litter, give treats, and provide lots of affection (or space if they prefer). I’ll also send photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is safe and cared for.
“Jessica was amazing with our senior cat, Kalinka! She gave him lots of love and gave us great frequent updates with photos. I would absolutely recommend her and use her again!”
“We feel so fortunate to have found Sydney! It’s always nerve wracking to leave a pet with a new sitter, but we felt comfortable with Sydney right away - she was communicative, prompt, and so good with our cat! She did a great job with our special requests and it was clear that she really cares about the animals she is working with. We loved the updates and pictures and came home to a cat who had clearly been taken good care of!”
“Andi went above and beyond in caring for our kitties. When they got sick while we were away, she worked in tandem with the vet tech to make sure they had the medicine and care they needed. We got thorough updates until the issue was resolved. Our cats trust Andi and love to snuggle and play with her, even our shy kitty loves her!”
“Stacy was fantastic!! She was very detail oriented in tracking visit start and end times, providing great notes about the visits, and sent so many great pictures of our 2 cats! And she was great with medicating our older cat, got her two meds every night without issue. All around great experience with Stacy!”
“So grateful Matthew could help watch my place while I was gone. He was conscientious about sending me pics and updates and my neighbor enjoyed his conversation.”
About: Hello, I have over 14 years of experience with dogs, cats and birds. Most of my work has been with dogs who have disabilities such as dementia, arthritis etc. I work remotely full time allowing me to spend all day with my fluffy friends.

I have a fenced back yard and garden in my front yard that pets can enjoy. I own one dog. He is a senior who loves his rest and enjoys proximity to younger dogs.

“Clara is great at communicating in advance when there are schedule conflicts (which have been minimal) and in being flexible when things are different for our schedule. And she loves our pup as much as we do.”

“The perfect experience for an old dog with some extra medical needs! Peter was responsive, flexible and so caring with my boy! During pick up, it was clear how much Guinness enjoyed his time as he came out to say hello to me and then promptly turned around to try and go back into Peter’s house which is pretty much the best sign you can get! So happy to have a great option for daycare and boarding!”
“Michael and Cheryl were fantastic with Bean! We did a meet and greet before hand and they helped settle my nerves about leaving him (I think I’m the one with separation anxiety ha!). I would definitely recommend them and Bean will see them in the future as well!”
“Savannah has been absolutely great with my pup...& that's not easy! Tigger's a very high energy pup. Yet after daycare, he calm & tired from playing. Yeah! She genuinely loves dogs, which is a necessary quality in ANY dog sitter. She knew I was nervous about leaving him, so she sent pics to let me know he was okay. Tigger looked so happy playing with his compadres. Savannah has been very flexible & understanding with me too, which I really appreciate. I'll definitely continue to use her & would recommend her without hesitation.”

About: If you're a dog lover, you should have dogs, right? I've had dogs all my life and we currently have two small well-behaved dogs, Daisy and Buddy, both under 20 lbs. My 23-year-old son Sam is a co-sitter (I'm primary) and your doggie will receive all the love it can handle! Sam used to volunteer as a dog walker at the Maui Humane Society when we lived on Maui and we spent Saturdays at the pet-a-puppy adoption gathering at the Maui Mall. Animals seem to know we're safe and loving and tend to come to us when they need help. We've rescued a duckling, a Mynah bird, a baby squirrel, a lost kitten, and two adult dogs, caring for them in our homes until appropriately placed or returned to their owners. We also took part in a humpback whale rescue when visiting Maui Feb 2023. I work from home as an instructional designer; my son is an student in animation and is also at home and absolutely adores every animal he ever met. Two responsible adults are here at all times, so this makes it easy to give your fur baby the attention it deserves. Our dogs are indoor dogs and have free roam of our house. We have a large, fenced, dog-friendly backyard for exercise. Our two small friendly dogs can show your dog the ropes. We recommend a visit prior to placement so they can all get acquainted.

“I needed day care services for the last 3 weeks. Susan & Ian were amazing! I requested dog pickup and drop off. I work 12 hrs a day and when I got home I came home to a tired and happy dog. It was like Christmas. I got pictures and video updates thought the day and report card at end of day. Kuka, my dog, loves their Rudy. They became buddies. I cant recommend them high enough!! Kuka went to doggie day care in the past and it always stressed her out. We tired 4 different places. She is super duper happy with Susan and family.”

We had previously tried to take him in to a daycare facility but he was so scared, he would not go in since there were so many loud dogs there. He absolutely loves Kristopher and is always so excited to see him each day we drop him off. One day our puppy got muddy while in his care and he even gave him a bath! We will keep going to Kristopher for doggy daycare as long as he lets us! Thank you so much for being so awesome!”

“Lucinda made multiple extra visits to my house (outside of scheduled walks) to try & get my very fearful dog to get to know her. She is very patient & understanding, I just wish my dog would be more cooperative! I appreciate how she went above & beyond to try & accommodate my scaredy cat dog. <3”

About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve never let myself go without having a dog. For over 25 years I’ve cared for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments - puppies through seniors, anxious rescues, and high-energy dogs. Your animal is part of my family while they’re here, not just a guest and I genuinely enjoy having more dogs around, as does my dog! I’m in SW Portland with my Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Layla, and I provide you with updates so you can actually relax while you’re away. I work mostly from home, which means plenty of outdoor breaks and consistent supervision throughout the day. My Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Layla, is two years old, easygoing, and great with all sizes — she just loves having a friend around. My kids (10 and 14) are here half the time and are natural animal lovers, so your pet will have no shortage of company and attention. Every pet deserves to feel safe and at home while their family is away, and that’s what I’m here to provide. I’d love to care for yours.

About: I have over 8 years of pet-sitting experience and have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and activity levels. My experience includes caring for young puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special medical and mobility needs, including back and hip problems, vision impairment, and proprioceptive ataxia. As a medical student, I am highly attentive to detail and comfortable monitoring pets for changes in behavior, mobility, appetite, and overall well-being.

Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, extra patience, or specialized support, I will provide safe, compassionate, and reliable care while treating them like my own.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with walks and check-ins scheduled before clinic, after clinic, and on my days off.

The safety and well-being of your pet are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs before providing care. Whether I am stopping by for a walk, check-in visit, or overnight stay, I strive to maintain a calm, familiar environment that helps pets feel comfortable and secure. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with medical conditions, so I understand the importance of closely following feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise restrictions, and safety precautions. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, providing reliable care, plenty of affection, and regular updates for owners.
About: Hello! I'm just a natural born animal lover and have been surrounded by them all my life. I have over 15years experience working with animals in veterinary care and have a B.S in Animal Health Sciences. I have had experience with just about every breed and temperament of dog there is. While my passion is for dogs that does not mean I don't also love cats and have never been without one for a pet. My experience also includes caring for reptiles, rodents, pigs and even primates! My most fulfilling work was my time working as an animal health technician in an animal shelter. It brought me pure heartbreak and pure joy. It was so sad to see what conditions brought the animals to the shelter but was also rewarding knowing that I was making a difference in their lives. During my time working in shelters, I gained experience interacting with both shy dogs and aggressive dogs and am comfortable with both. While I've always had pets, I stepped away from working with animals to work in health care some years ago. I really miss the interaction with animals and caring for them. It is my one true passion. I feel I have an instinct into how an animal is feeling and am able to meet that need. I will always make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I'm currently working part-time in health care so have plenty of time open to care for your pet. I mostly have afternoons, evenings and weekends available. While in your home I will take all measures to ensure that your pet is safe and secure. We will leave no doors open and will always have a dog on a leash before walking out the door.

“This was the first time I was away from Toby, who I rescued about 2 1/2 months ago. The stay could not have gone any better! I received a daily series of photos that made me smile! They are a caring couple who went beyond the call of duty in taking care of Toby.”
“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”
“Katie and her family took wonderful care of Ebbett.-Walking him every morning, cuddling at night. Katie was also very, very responsive and flexible. Ebbett is going to get to stay another two weeks coming up!”
“Marybeth and family took good care of our dog Toby for a week. I believe Toby had as good a vacation as we did! He got to play with Zoey and keep an eye on the cats. He spent time relaxing on the back deck watching the chickens. Working out the details with Marybeth was easy and she's quick to respond. She's obviously good with animals.”
“We left our two 20 pound cockapoos for 5 days. We received daily pictures and updates and really appreciated the great care they had while with Damon.”
“Allison was very accommodating with our dog Yoshi who still has a lot of puppy energy. I could tell that Yoshi had a great stay, he came back home calm and very affectionate. I'll definitely reach out to Allison for dog sitting in the future.”
“Hayley & Graham were awesome! We so much appreciate them for taking care of our two pups and the new friends Chloe and Millie made while they were on vacation too. Thank you for the pics and video it made us miss them a lot :-)”
About: I have a 4 year old excitable spaniel of my own who certainly keeps my life exciting! I have always lived with dogs and can’t imagine it any other way. But I also love cats! Nearly all my friends have cats and I have lots of experience pet-sitting for many of them. I love spending time around animals and would love to take care of yours! I have a full-time 8-5 job, but do have flexibility within my week. I wfh at least one day a week - sometimes more. Evenings and weekends are usually super open for me! But feel free to reach out about availability as my schedule fluctuates often. I have a small fenced yard with space for your pup to potty and run. I also have a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I have a crate that can be used if your pup likes a place to settle. My furniture is my dogs furniture and it would be the same for your furry friend too! I also have an animal loving roommate - so double the love.
“Tammy was ideal as a caregiver for our elderly cockapoo. She provided reassurance with her communication and we were confident that our dog was receiving loving attention at all times. Thank you Tammy for being so wonderful with Milo!”
